In the slums, people’s ability to modify the living conditions in minimal, because they do not have the resources to do so. A few pieces of tin, scrap lumber, card board make a house. Clothing and food are scavenged from the refuse of others with more. There is no coasting for the slum dwellers. Everything is now, today and each day is a new struggle for survival. The gains made yesterday were maybe enough, but they were consumed yesterday. Nothing carries over, except the needs.
Slumdog millionaire film scene
The story of Jamai Malik an 18 year old- orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life with the whole nation watch. He is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupee on India’s “ who wants to be a millionaire” but when the show breaks for the night police arrest him on suspicion of cheating how could a street kid know so much. Desperate to prove his innocence Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road of vicious encounters with local gangs.
This story entrenched in everyone’s mind. Slums children education is in the home, but more often in the mud paths that pass for streets in the slum. Childhood is shortened. Children have to do something useful for the family’s survival. In this film Jamal answered the all question through his experience in slums. Though, he did not have the facilities to study, his slum experiences taught a lot in his life and made worthy.

Map

Map representing the location of the 30 biggest “mega-slums” in the World. The circles’ size and color indicate the number of inhabitants in millions, Note that some cities have several “mega-slums” while other cities may have more inhabitants living in slums, but scattered in many small slums rather than in a few “mega-slums”, particularly in South Asia. This map therefore does not show all cities with slums, rather only those with well-known large slums.
